Gypsies
are often considered traveling bands of people, usually families,
which were able to tap into the magical aspects of the world. This
was true, at least on a large scale. In a gypsy's blood held magic
that they could tap into. For some reason, in many gypsies, this
blood magic made them restless. They couldn't stay in one place for
long periods of time; it was just a part of their nature. With the
number of gypsies that were nomadic, it became the popular belief
that all gypsies were that way. Later on, a few gypsy tribes denied
this nature, despite their need.

Families
were usually the reason for this. Young children were hard to travel
with. Most gypsy parents would settle down at the conception of their
first child. Many of their kids left when they came of age. Some
however didn't. These stuck with their families. Those that settled
down quickly opened shops devoted to keep the family traditions open.
They worked hard and they got a lot of business for it. These
families quickly grew to have several generations in one city. It was
like the old clans, except for they did not move around.

The
Nicolae gypsy clan was one such tribe. This gypsy clan was one of the
strongest that existed in the ancient world, and their blood magic
grew stronger throughout the years. Each female family member had its
own specialty, whether palmistry, tarot reading, tea leaves, and so
on. The strength of each person was discovered on their thirteenth
birthday, when they picked out of several wrapped presents the one
that drew them. It was a tradition that had lasted for several
centuries, and was always accurate.

One
day, the Nicolae gypsies birthed the strongest yet, Ana. She would
change the gypsy world forever.
